Using macro fill hole

Anonymous — Thu, 27 Sep 2018 06:08:29 GMT

Hello Guys,

I need help making a macro in Powershape that can select the outershells and fill the hole. I noticed that in order to fill the holes I have to select individual outershell one at a time, is there any way I can have them all selected and gap the holes. Please see image down below.

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for contacting Autodesk Community forum.

In order to create a macro to fill a hole in the mesh, we should be able to select to an edge of the hole using the macro command. Currently, there is no command to do that in PowerShape using a macro. There is an existing feature request for this functionality and I am adding this instance in the existing change request.

Hi, so I made a fix hole macro using MESH doctor for gaping the holes, however I still get errors such as bad connection and invalid fault selection because within the mesh doctor command there are three different types of fixes. 1)Edge Fault, 2) Gaps, 3) Large Holes and large holes are the ones I need to gap. Please take a look at the attachment and see if you can suggest me on how I can solve this issue where I can fill the right Large holes, meaning I need to fill the side holes not the upper hole.
